E. 2.

Spirit of great Elizabeth! inspire

High thoughts, high deeds, worthy our ancient fame;

Breathe through our ardent ranks the patriot fire,

Kindled at Freedom’s ever-hallowed flame;

Baffled and scorned, the Iberian tyrant found,

Though half a world his iron sceptre bound,

The gallant Amazon could sweep away,

Armed with her people’s love, the “Invincible” array.[^[261]]
